Happy 5th (GASP!!!) Birthday to Deal!

Ilinap · June 22, 2010 ·

I have just a few years until my sons are taller than I am. Granted, they aren't up against a huge challenge here as I am a whopping 60 inches tall (that's 5'0 if you aren't mathy). My baby boy is growing like a weed, and he is quickly creeping up on his big brother. Mac Daddy … [Read more...] about Happy 5th (GASP!!!) Birthday to Deal!

Ilinap · June 19, 2010 ·

Bird: "I love Daddy because he is funny." Deal: "I love Daddy because he plays with me all the time." Me:  "I love Daddy because he gave me the kind of family I always dreamed of." Happy Father's Day to Mac Daddy and to my Dad! I love you. … [Read more...] about Happy Father’s Day, Mac Daddy!

5:00 Fridays – Edith’s Toast

Ilinap · June 18, 2010 ·

I'd like to live in Edith Vanderbilt's shoes for just a weekend. I know I'd share a kinship with any woman who'd wear bright corally orange fine silk sewn inside her otherwise staid black cape. It's also a sure thing that her shoes were fantastic, so what girl wouldn't want to … [Read more...] about 5:00 Fridays – Edith’s Toast

So hot I’m burning out.

Ilinap · June 15, 2010 ·

I'll be taking a little social media break later this month. I need to get off the keyboard and back into full fledged 4D reality for a bit. This will be part catharsis, part test. I need to focus on some work, the kind that pays better than blogging. I need to hang out with … [Read more...] about So hot I’m burning out.

Race for the Cure: Team Dirt & Noise

Ilinap · June 13, 2010 ·

I've been doing the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure every year for a few years with an amazing group of friends. Some new pals flit in and out of the group as our schedules permit, but every year we have a fantastic team. Team Dirt & Noise was no different this year: … [Read more...] about Race for the Cure: Team Dirt & Noise

5:00 Fridays – POMFroid

Ilinap · June 11, 2010 ·

I've never been much of a soda drinker. We have a practically full 12-pack of Coke in the pantry from when my brother visited for Thanksgiving. My sons keep cajoling me to use it to clean the toilets after I tried to scare them with some urban lore about the supreme icky factor … [Read more...] about 5:00 Fridays – POMFroid
